Round-trip? I take that to mean they transport you from TV to Orlando and then from Orlando back to TV when you return. Is that correct? The shuttle services usually charge $35 per person each way, so $60 round trip is a $10 discount. Or am I misunderstanding your post?

They have dropped the price to $30 per person each way, Skybo

and no longer any discount for booking a "return"

Advantages of Village Airport Van are that they will pick you up 24/7., they are door-to-door, and your 10th trip is free.
Disadvantage is that the van can hold 10 people and if you are on a full van, it takes extra time for picking up or dropping off.
I starting using them when they were the same price as TV Transportation and we had an early morning flight. I will continue to use them (my next trip is free)

I agree. I've used them several times. I once had visitors coming from the west coast. Due to numerous flight delays they arrived several hours late and got into Orlando around 2 a.m. The Airport Van kept track of their flight status and was there waiting for them when they arrived.

No, I don't think it's too difficult to get into to. It has one of the big sliding side doors that gives fairly good access to all of the seats. And they have a step stool they can put on the ground to help you step up if you need it. If you have specific concerns about access you could discuss that with them on the phone.

Also, if you sign up on their website and make your reservations through the website, once a day they hold a drawing for all the reservations made that day and give away one free ride.

Not difficult to get into the van. Side door slides ooen.
If you have difficulty, I'm sure the driver would give you either the seat up front with him or one in the next row.

You probably won't be sitting around you will be stuck in the TSA line which is always backed up. (Especially during Spring Break). Two hours is probably just enough time. I am a retired Flight Attendant and had to fly out of Orlando to Detroit 3 times a month. Better safe than miss your flight.
